Please LOGIN to ensure viewing of all listings. Not all REALTORS® subscribe to, or are even aware of, Reciprocity™, which enables the public sharing of listing data. This is particularly true of Luxury Homes, in which case the listing agent, or even the property owner, does not want it publicly displayed. Not sharing of the listing data makes it a challenge to find all MLS® listings without an agent, however you have that access to EVERYTHING from my website if you do LOGIN!

If you find another agent featuring listings, it will be true on that site also that you must login to see all listings, but www.JordyBrisbin.com AND www.VancouverLuxuriousHomes.com are likely the best consolidation of Homes For Sale found in BC. Try to login once, and you will see that there are significantly more listings in some property categories.

November 2, 2011 – With a sales-to-active property listings ratio of 15 per cent, the Greater Vancouver housing market continues to hover at the lower end of a balanced market and has been trending in that direction over the past five months.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential property sales of detached, attached and apartment properties on the region’s Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) system reached 2,317 in October, a 1 per cent decrease compared to the 2,337 sales in October 2010 and a 3.2 per cent increase compared to the previous month. Those sales rank as the second lowest total for October over the last 10 years.

“Right now, prospective home buyers have a good selection of properties to choose from and more time to make decisions,” Rosario Setticasi, REBGV president said. “Home sellers should be mindful of local market conditions to ensure they are pricing their properties competitively.”
